Reviews
A book pays homage to the queen of citrus fruits, provides simple recipes and is dedicated to the question: why does the lemon make you happy?, Lemons are symbols, ciphers, ingredients; conduits for meaning and metaphors; little cathedrals, fruit for dreaming., In addition to its many cultural references, this rich volume presents 60 recipes that celebrate the lemon's incredible versatility in the kitchen., A beautifully illustrated and amply documented bible that gives us a full tour around the ball of energy that inspired so many painters, musicians...and recipes., The lemon book by TASCHEN is a kind of almanac about the much-loved Citrus Limon, as the botanical name goes. The lemon as a subject of painting, from Baroque artists to Henri Rousseau and Andy Warhol, as a motif in novels from Joan Didion to James Joyce., Since launching out of London a handful of years ago, The Gourmand has garnered a cult following for its whimsical take on contemporary food and culture., It makes your mouth water just looking at the cover of the book and seeing The Gourmand's Lemon on the table... The sight alone is the start of summer., With The Gourmand's Lemon, TASCHEN once again demonstrates its keen sense of design quality. This is evident not only in the excellent illustrations, but also in fine details such as the marbled endpapers, on which, of course, lemons are wafting., A hybrid of illustrated book and cookbook pays tribute to the lemon... The Gourmand puts it on a par with salt and pepper, because it has a similarly elementary significance for the development of the art of cooking and gives even the most banal dish a stimulating note., This exceptional book explores the lemon's history, geneaology, poetry and delivers 60 or so recipes for which the lemon plays a decisive role. Tuna steak 'al salmoriglio, lemon tagliolini, roast chicken, tagines, lemon cakes and tarts, lemon curd and various other precious condiments, but also classic and creative cocktails: all elevating this magical fruit. Gorgeous photos by Bobby Doherty.

Synopsis
The Gourmand's Lemon Book The Gourmand's Lemon is an in-depth exploration of the literary, linguistic, historic, and gastronomic legacy of lemons, where the line between food and art is happily blurred. Following on from The Gourmand's Egg, Lemon is the second volume in our established book series, published by Taschen. Lemon features a foreword by celebrated cook and author Simon Hopkinson, an in-depth introduction by writer and author Jennifer Higgie, twenty four compelling and unexpected stories, illustrated with acclaimed artworks and photography, plus over fifty zesty recipes with exclusive photography by Bobby Doherty., The deceptively simple lemon takes center stage in the second volume of TASCHEN's collaboration with The Gourmand, masters of the rich intersection of food and art. The star of Renaissance gardens, that shaped the Medici dynasty, have the power to ward off scurvy, had a hand in forming the mob, and whose juice has been used as an invisible ink since 600 CE to pen covert messages, these joyful yellow orbs are ripe with intrigue. The Gourmand charts the fruit's astonishingly intricate genealogy, explores its role as a literary device for the likes of Joan Didion, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe, and James Joyce, and examines its unique representation of the American dream through lemonade stands. A favorite subject of art history's giants, the lemon captivates in the still lifes of Old Masters and inspired the breakthroughs of modern visionaries like Picasso, Matisse, and Warhol. Lemons also find themselves at the cutting edge of design in Philippe Starck's iconic Juicy Salif and the unassuming yet revolutionary Jif Lemon. Their presence extends to the decorative arts, gracing everything from Arts and Crafts wallpapers to mythological ceramics. Even the famed Bloomsbury Group found lemons entangled in their literary love affairs. Accompanying these citrus-centric anecdotes are a foreword by chef and acclaimed food writer Simon Hopkinson and an introduction by art critic and author Jennifer Higgie alongside more than 60 lemon-infused recipes across global cuisines and for every occasion--including perfect poultry, decadent sauces, classic cocktails, and indulgent desserts, with custom photography by Bobby Doherty., Join the culinary experts at The Gourmand on an in-depth exploration of the literary, linguistic, historic, and gastronomic legacy of lemons, where the line between food and art is happily blurred. Featuring original recipes that celebrate the versatility and complexity of the king of citrus in the second volume of the best-selling series.
